025.2  ACCESSION  DEPARTMENT 
SUGGESTED  ORDER  ROUTINE  FOR  SMALL  LIBRARY 

Basis :  Library  adding  about  200  volumes  a  year  and  ordering  once  a 
month. 

1  Order  slips  made  out  by  reader  or  librarian. 

2  Be  sure  that  book  is  not  now  in  library  or  not  already  ordered. 

3  Verify  order  slips  and  fill  out  if  necessary.     Order  slip  should 
always  bear  author,  title,  publisher  and  price;    also  date    if 
easily  found. 

4  Submit  order  slips  to  book  committee  for  approval. 

5  Alphabet  order  slips  and  copy  on  order  sheet  for  agent,  giving 
in  every  case  items  named  in  no.  3  and  such  other  information 
as  may  be  necessary  or  desirable. 

6  Write  or  stamp  date  of  sending  under  "Ordered"  on  order 
slips.     If  library  has  more   than  one   agent,   agent's   name 
must  go  on  slip. 

7  Keep  order  slips  together  till  package  is  received. 

8  Compare  books  received  with  bill  and  note  any  errors. 

9  Compare  books  with  order  slips,  verify  prices  and  enter  books 
in  accession  book. 

10  Write  accession  number  on  book  on  lower  margin  of  first  recto 
after  title-page. 

11  Verify  footing  of  bill. 

12  Notify  agent  if  there  are  any  errors,  otherwise  certify   bill 
with  initials.

STAMPING,   PLATING,   POCKETING  AND   LABELING, 
NEW  YORK  STATE  LIBRARY 

i  Stamping 

Position,     a  Stamp  each  full   title-page  in  every  book  on  upper 

right  corner. 
b  Stamp  first  page  of  text  proper   (i.  e.  matter  after  preface 

or  introduction)  in  upper  right  corner.     When  possible  avoid 

perforating  text  on  verso  as  it  makes  it  illegible. 
c  Stamp  all  plates  and  maps  not  included  in  the  paging.     Do 

not  stamp  illustrations  included  in  the  text. 
d  On  plates,  portraits,  etc.  stamp  the  margin  and  sometimes 

a  little  of  the  picture,  but  take  great  care  not  to  disfigure 

the  picture  by  stamping  on  an  important  part ;  e.  g.  the  face 

of  a  portrait,  or  plates  in  scientific  books. 

1  When  an  embossing  stamp  is  used  and  there  are  many  plates, 
maps  etc.  in  a  volume,  emboss  at  different  distances  from  top  of 
page  to  avoid  thickening  book  at  one  point. 

2  If  plates   are   so   numerous  that  embossing  will  swell  the  book 
materially,  or  if  plates  are  on  too  heavy  paper  for  perforating  or 
embossing  stamp,  use  ink  stamp  (small  type)  on  face  of  plate. 
Be   careful   to  let  ink  dry  before  closing  book  or  letting  other 
leaves  touch  ink. 

e  Always  be  careful  to  have  stamp  parallel  with  printed  lines 
and  edge  of  leaf. 

2  Plating 

a    General,     (i)  Unbound  books  are  not  plated  or  cut. 

(2)  If  there  is  no  book  plate  in  book  look  on  first  recto  after 
title-page  to  see  if  book  is  gift.  If  so  use  gift  book  plate,  if 
not  use  ordinary  book  plate. 

b  Position.  Paste  plate  squarely  in  middle  of  inside  of  front 
cover.  But  if  this  space  is  occupied  by  another  book  plate, 
autograph,  or  matter  of  value,  place  the  plate  above  or  below. 
If  there  is  not  blank  space  enough  for  the  plate,  paste  its  edge 
on  the  inside  edge  of  the  cover  so  that  it  can  be  lifted  to  read 
what  is  covered. 

c  Method,  (i)  Cover  back  of  plate  thoroughly  with  paste,  but 
take  care  not  to  get  any  on  the  face. 

(2)  After  plate  is  in  place  rub  down  carefully  with  a  clean 
cloth,  seeing  that  the  edges  of  the  plate  are  pasted  firmly  and 
smoothing  out  wrinkles  or  "blisters." 


550  NEW    YORK    STATE    LIBRARY 

3  Pocketing 

If  Acme  book  pocket  is  used,  paste  it  in  middle  of  inside  of  back 
cover,  with  opening  toward  inner  edge. 

4  Labeling 

a     Form,     (i)     For  pamphlet  binders  use  5x7 $  cm  blue  tinted 

labels. 

(a)  For  traveling   libraries  use  ^  inch  printed,  gummed  Van 
Everen  numbers. 

(3)  For  special  libraries  of  Home  Education  use  Dennison's 
gummed  labels,  no.   123    (blue);    for  extension  collection, 
no.  217   (red). 

(4)  Other  books  are  gilded. 

b  Position,  (i)  On  backs  of  books:  (a)  octavo  series,  place 
upper  edge  of  label  or  top  of  Van  Everen  number  5  cm 
from  bottom  of  book;  (6)  quarto  and  folio  series,  place 
lower  edge  of  label  or  bottom  of  Van  Everen  number  5  cm 
from  top  of  book;  (c)  books  shelved  on  their  sides,  place 
label  lengthwise,  the  right  end  5  cm  from  top  of  book. 

(2)  When  a  book  is  too  thin  to  take  the  label  across  the  back, 
place  it  at  same  hight  on  front  cover  near  back. 

(3)  Label  all  pamphlet  binders    (5x7$  cm     labels)   on  front 
cover  near  back. 

(4)  For  binders:    (a)  octavo  series,  place  lower  edge  of  label 
5  cm  from  bottom  of  book;  (6)    quarto  and  folio  series, 
place  upper  edge  of  label  5  cm  from  top  of  book. 

(5)  To  secure  uniformity  of  position  use  a  notched  pasteboard 
measure. 

c     Method,     (i)  Moisten  entire  surface  of  label  but  avoid  rubbing 

on  sponge  as  it  removes  the  gum. 

(2)  Press  labels  -firmly  on  the  binding,  using  a  clean  cloth  to 
avoid  soiling  with  fingers.  Do  not  rub  in  pressing,  unless 
a  paper  is  laid  over  label  so  it  will  not  be  soiled  or  moved 
by  the  rubbing. 

When    necessary   to    remove    grease    or   glaze,    brush    book   with 
ammonia  and  apply  label  as  above.

GIFT  REQUESTS  AND  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS,  NEW  YORK 
STATE  LIBRARY 

1  Write  neatly.     Use  either  script  or  disjoined  hand    for  gift 
requests    and    post    card    acknowledgments;     for    engraved 
acknowledgments  use  script.     Never  send  out   a  slovenly  gift 
request  or  acknowledgment. 

2  Acknowledge  routine  gifts  from  an  institution,  reports  etc.  to 
the  institution,  not  to  any  official;  e.  g.  address  -Public  library, 
Boston  Mass,  not  H.  G.  Wadlin,  Librarian.     But  acknowledge 
to  an  official  gifts  obtained  through  his  instrumentality. 

3  Give  address  in  proper  form,  being  specially  careful  in  foreign 
addresses.     For  names   of   foreign   institutions   follow  forms 
used  in  Smithsonian  Institution  international  exchange  list. 
Give  street  address  in  large  cities.     In  addresses  containing 
numbered  streets,  write  the  number  in  the  street  and  of  the 
street    in  two  distinct    groups  separated  by   icm  space.     If 
stragglingly  written  121  5  st.  may  be  read  as  12  15  st. 

4  Avoid  obscure  abbreviations;   e.  g.  write  West  New  Brighton 
N.  Y.  not  S.  I.;  Ontario,  Canada,  not  Ontario;    S.  Australia, 
not  S.  A. 

5  Prefer  short  forms;   e.  g.  write  375  5   av.  New  York,  not  375 
Fifth  ave.  New  York  N.  Y.  or  New  York  city;  Box  205,  Pitts- 
burg  Pa.  not  P.  O.  box  205,  Pittsburgh,  Penn. 

6  Avoid  writing  name  of  place  twice;    e.  g.  write  Naturwissen- 
schaftlicher  verein,  Bremen  Ger.  not  Naturwissenschaftlicher 
verein  zu  Bremen,  Bremen  Ger. 

7  Give  proper  honorary  titles;    e.  g.  Pres.  C.  W.  Eliot,  Harvard 
university ;  Hon.  Malcolm  Fraser. 

8  In  writing  book  titles  follow  form  given  on  title-page ;    e.  g. 
catalogue  or  catalog. 

9  For  omission  of  initial  article  see  under  "Book  titles"  in  Edit- 
ing Rules,  treating  gift  requests  and  acknowledgments  as  book 
lists. 

10  In   acknowledging   gifts  to  both  Library  School  and  Library 
from  same  source,  do  not  write  two  cards,  but  acknowledge 
both  on  Library  card  saying,  e.  g.  "also  2  copies  for  Library 
School." 

11  On  engraved  acknowledgment,  after  titles  of  bound  volumes 
and  most  important  pamphlets  have  been  given,  write  e.  g. 


574  *    NEW  YORK  STATE  LIBRARY 

"  iS'other  pamphlets  and  blanks."  In  case  of  foreign  postage, 
write  "5  "  conspicuously  in  upper  right  corner  of  envelop  to 
guard  against  insufficient  postage. 

i a     Omit   punctuation   at   end   of   line   in   superscriptions;    e.  g. 
Phrenological  journal 

27  E.  21  st. 

New  York 

13  For  other  punctuation,  abbreviations  and  spelling  see  Editing 
Rules. 

14  For  arrangement    of    matter   in    gift  acknowledgments    and 
requests  see  samples  following  and  the  set  in  binder.

DIRECTIONS  FOR  CATALOGUERS,  NEW  YORK  STATE 

LIBRARY 

i     Supplies 

Use  cards  and  slips  and  5x7^  cm  manila  slips  belonging  to  Library. 

2     Canceled  cards 

When  a  card  is  to  be  rewritten  cancel  it  by  a  pen  stroke  across 

its  face. 

Keep  all  canceled  cards  and  hand  them  in  with  time  sheets  on 
first  of  each  month. 

3     What  not  to  do 

a    Do  not  waste  time. 

6    Do  not  remove  a  card  from  the  catalogue.     See  12. 

c     Do  not  mark  title-page  of  a  book. 

d     If  unbound  book  has  accession  number  do  not  put  "unb." 

on  cards.     Book  is  to  be  bound. 
e     Do  not  put  superior  red  headings  on  cards  for  local  histories, 

registers  etc.     These  are  added  by  shelflister. 
/     Do  not  put  class  numbers  in  either  blue  or  red  ink  on  face  of 

cards,  or  write  "  2  cop."  on  face  of  cards.     These  are  added 

by  shelflister. 
g     Do  not  put  cataloguer's  signature  on  any  cards  except  main 

author  card,  and  on  author  analytic  card  when  author  of  part 

analyzed  has  but  one  forename,  to  show  that  card  is  to  be 

filed  in  name  catalogue. 

4  Penciled  numbers 

On  secondary  cards  for  subject  catalogue,  i.  e.  analytics  or  general 
subject  reference  cards,  pencil  cross  reference  number  on  lower 
left  margin  of  face  of  card.  This  applies  to  secondary  cards 
only.  Shelflister  copies  penciled  number  in  red  ink  on  top  line 
of  card. 

5  Notes  in  books 

If  two  blank  cards  with  stamped  accession  numbers  are  in  book 
to  be  catalogued  be  careful  to  use  them  in  writing  the  two 
main  cards  (except  for  works  of  criticism  and  anonymous 
biographies).  Keep  with  great  care  any  notes,  colored  slips  or 
pieces  of  braid  found  in  book,  and  leave  them  with  cards  when 
written. 


576  NEW   YORK    STATE    LIBRARY 

6     Rush  books 

Red  braid  in  book  calls  for  haste.  Catalogue  promptly  and  give 
to  reviser  in  person. 

7     Bibliography  slips 

Yellow  1 2^x7$  cm  slip  in  book,  with  class  number  for  a  short 
bibliography,  calls  for  a  slip  to  be  made  for  a  supplementary 
catalogue.  This  slip  does  not  go  into  main  catalogue.  It  is 
written  by  a  special  assistant  after  book  is  revised. 

8     Printed  cards 

If  printed  cards  are  found  in  book,  give  them  with  book  to  head 
cataloguer.  It  has  already  been  catalogued  and  the  cards  are 
adapted  for  Library  by  a  special  assistant. 

9    Special  collections 

All  books  belonging  to  special  collections  have  special  marks  on 
bookplates. 

a  Books  marked  C,  D,  H,  M,  R  or  V  before  class  numbers  on 
bookplates  are  catalogued  according  to  general  rules. 

b  Books  marked  W  before  class  numbers  on  bookplates  belong 
to  collection  written  by  women  born  or  resident  in  New  York 
State.  The  books  have  special  bookplates  and  are  kept  together 
on  the  shelves.  The  cards  are  written  separately  from  all 
other  cards.  Different  cards  for  two  copies  or  two  editions  of 
same  work  are  thus  found  together  in  catalogue.  Two  editions, 
both  W  books,  of  same  work  go  on  same  card,  according  to 
general  rule. 

As  a  separate  collection  marked  E  for  use  of  examiners,  has  been 
similarly  catalogued,  three  cards  for  different  copies  or  editions, 
also  three  series  cards  for  same  series  may  sometimes  be  found 
together  in  catalogue;  i.  e.  one  for  books  belonging  to  general 
library,  one  for  E  books  and  one  for  W  books.  Be  careful 
to  add  to  right  card. 

c     Books  for  blind,  marked  B,  are  catalogued  by  a  special  assistant. 

10     Name  list 
a    Abbreviations.     List  of  abbreviations  for  most  frequently  used 

reference  books,  placed  at  beginning  of  name  list,  is  printed 

on  p.  579. 
6     Supplement.     Lists  of  changed  titles  and  of  headings  for  works 

catalogued  like  the  Koran  are  placed  at  end  of  name  list. 
c     Corrections.     If  a  name  slip  needs  to  be  changed  report  to  head 

cataloguer.     Correction  or  amplification  is  written  in  red  ink.

d  Library  Journal  full  names.  Name  slips  without  the  blue  star, 
indexing  lists  of  full  names  in  Library  Journal,  are  filed  in  name 
list  to  be  used  when  needed.  When  a  book  requiring  one  of 
these  slips  is  catalogued  the  slip  is  removed  from  name  list, 
and  is  verified,  checked  and  signed  by  cataloguer.  A  star  is 
added  by  reviser. 

e  Memorandum.  With  every  book  catalogued  hand  in  either 
a  name  slip  or  a  5x7^-  cm  slip  marked  "St.  inn.  1."  (starred 
in  name  list).  In  making  latter  slip  be  most  careful  not  to 
confuse  two  authors  of  same  name. 

/  Consult  best  authorities.  Write  name  slip  with  utmost  distinct- 
ness. In  general  consult  not  more  than  three  authorities.  Let 
these  be  without  exception  the  best  available  authorities,  not 
those  nearest  at  hand.  Remember  this  slip  settles  the  form 
for  all  books  by  same  author. 

g  When  made.  Name  slips  are  made  for  every  personal  author, 
translator,  subject  of  biography,  etc.  for  all  bodies  used  as 
authors,  for  anonymous  books  with  author  not  found,  for  head- 
ings like  the  Koran,  for  family  headings  in  genealogies,  for  series 
cards. 

h  When  not  made.  Name  slips  are  not  made  for  periodicals  or 
for  red  headings  on  blue  cards  in  subject  catalogue. 

*  Slips  for  series.  Name  slips  for  series  cards  have  been  only 
recently  made.  Many  series  cards  for  which  no  name  slips 
have  been  made  are  in  catalogue,  and  must  be  looked  for  there. 

j  Differentiate  families.  Family  headings  in  genealogies  must  be 
kept  distinct  the  same  as  personal  authors.  This  requires  inves- 
tigation when  two  families  have  same  name. 

k  Arrangement.  Name  slips  for  families  are  alphabeted  after 
names  of  individuals  with  same  surname. 

I  016  headings.  In  cataloguing  subject  bibliography,  always 
consult  blue  cards  in  subject  catalogue  to  see  headings  already 
assigned.  Same  class  number  may  or  may  not  call  for  same 
heading;  e.g.  bibliographies  of  cycling  and  tennis  have  same 
number  and  different  headings;  but  for  two  bibliographies  of 
birds  one  heading  should  not  be  ornithology  and  the  other  birds ; 
they  should  be  alike. 

1 1     Serials 

A  serial  is  a  work  to  be  continued  indefinitely,  as  the  report  of  a 

board  of  health, 
a    Get  all  the  books  of  the  set.     In  cataloguing  a  serial  the  first 

and  most  imperative  thing  is  to  collect  all  volumes  of  the  set 

belonging  to  the  Library. 


578  NEW    YORK    STATE    LIBRARY 

6  Catalogues  to  consult.  There  are  four  catalogues  to  consult; 
i.  e.  the  new  card  catalogue,  the  old  slip  catalogue  in  boxes, 
the  printed  catalogue  published  in  1855  and  the  catalogue  of 
recent  pamphlets,  now  being  incorporated  in  the  name  catalogue. 
Consult  also  serials  and  annuals  check  lists  in  room  55  and  for 
publications  of  libraries  the  shelves  and  catalogue  of  bibli- 
ography and  library  economy  pamphlets  (010-020)  in  room 

59- 

c  Do  not  alter  serials  cards.  If  set  is  already  in  new  catalogue 
look  no  farther  but  report  to  head  cataloguer.  Serials  cards 
are  altered  by  a  special  assistant,  never  by  a  Library  School 
student. 

d  Memorandum.  Hand  in  slip  with  every  serial,  telling  what 
catalogues  were  consulted  to  find  more  of  set. 

e  Date.  "C"  in  upper  left  corner  of  cover  or  title-page  of  serial 
shows  that  the  work  is  checked  when  received,  on  serials  or 
annuals  check  list  in  room  55.  Such  works  are  generally  cata- 
logued "to  date." 

12     Added  editions  and  additions  to  series 

If  a  new  edition,  without  variation  of  title,  is  to  be  added  to  cards 
(not  conflicting  with  rule  for  W  books,  9  6)  ask  cards  clerk  to 
take  out  cards.  Add  new  edition  with  two  dashes  and  imprint. 
Ask  also  for  series  card,  when  a  new  volume  is  to  be  added. 

13     Reviser's  notes 

If  reviser  returns  a  book  for  correction,  read  the  whole  of  reviser's 
note  and  after  making  the  corrections  return  it  to  reviser  in 
person  with  book  and  cards. 

14     Six  points  for  each  book 
Points  to  observe  in  every  book  catalogued: 
a     See  bookplate,  find  out  what  class  number,  subject  reference 

numbers  and  letters  used  in  special  schemes,  mean. 
b     Before  writing  cards,  decide  how  many  are  to  be  made;  when 

written,  see  that  every  secondary  card  is  traced  on  one  or  both 

main  cards. 

c     Make  name  slip  or  memorandum  for  every  author. 
d    Write  signature  on  card. 
e     Write  signature  in  book  (middle  of  inner  margin  of  first  recto 

after  title-page;  e.  g.  2  Ja  05  Chr). 
/     Write  accession  numbers  on  main  cards. 

In  sets  where  there  are  numerous  numbers  to  be  written  write  "See 
shelflist"  on  back  of  main  cards  and  send  a  slip  containing  the  numbers  to 
reviser  with  the  cards.

your  initials  or  name  and  put  in  book.  Give  exact  paging  for 
analytics. 

2     Cross  references 

a  Do  not  make  cross  references  for  less  than  10  pages  except  in 
case  of  bibliography  which  should  be  not  less  than  3  pages. 

b  Place  book  on  4  divisions  of  one  subject  with  general  class,  a 
book  on  3  divisions  or  less  with  one  of  these  divisions  with 
cross  references  to  the  others. 

3     Different  editions 

If  you  suspect  there  may  be  another  edition  of  a  book  in  the  library, 
look  in  catalogue  for  class  number  so  all  editions  will  be  in 
same  class.  If  you  look  in  catalogue  make  note  for  use  of 
cataloguer  telling  whether  another  copy  or  edition  is  there 
or  not. 

4     Special  schemes 

For  colleges  and  single  works  of  authors  having  special  numbers 
(e.  g.  in  literature)  use  special  schemes  to  be  found  at  head 
classifier's  desk.  For  collected  works  of  all  authors  having 
special  numbers,  and  books  about  those  authors,  use  D-N  of 
"  Book  Numbers  for  Special  Author  Library",  printed  on 
p.  629.  For  authors  for  which  the  library  wishes  to  keep  all  its 
material  together  (i.  e.  Shakspere,  Gothe  and  Dante) use  also  A-C. 
For  table  for  American  local '  government  see  "  Lower  Case 
Letters  in  Book  Numbers  "  (p.  627),  no.  5. 

5     Sermons,  essays  etc. 

a     Class  a  single  sermon  or  essay  with  its  subject. 
b     Class  a  collection  of  sermons  or  essays  on  special  subject  with 
subject. 

6    Recent  fiction 

For  recent  fiction,  unless  absolutely  certain  of  nationality  of  author, 
consult  slip  catalogue  on  back  of  desk  of  sublibrarian  (selection 
and  annotation)  and  if  necessary  read  reviews  there  noted. 
Recent  poetry,  essays  etc.  should  be  similarly  treated.

In  classifying  description  and  travel  do  not  add  period  divisions 
to  geographic  divisions  of  a  country. 

8     Biography 
a     In  classifying  biography,  if  necessary,  consult  State  Library 

catalogue  and  biographic  dictionaries  before  assigning  number. 
6     Do  not  carry  biography  of  chief  rulers  to  period  divisions  in 

history  or  of  authors  with  special  numbers  to  that  number.

text  mingles  with  advertising  matter  or  pages  with  it,  arrange- 
ment must  not  be  disturbed. 

b  Put  title-page  and  contents  at  beginning,  and  index  at  end, 
unless  so  printed  as  to  make  this  impossible.  (A  table  of  con- 
tents arranges  matter  in  order  of  occurrence  in  text;  an  index 
arranges  it  alphabetically.)  Indexes  must  go  at  end  even  if 
paged  with  title-page. 

c  If  one  number  makes  a  volume  leave  title-page  and  contents 
inside  the  covers. 

d  Where  two  separate  paginations  are  in  the  same  covers  keep 
each  pagination  together,  putting  all  front  covers  and  adver- 
tising leaves  with  the  first,  and  all  back  covers  and  advertising 
leaves  with  the  second  pagination. 

e  If  plates  are  numbered  consecutively  through  a  volume,  put 
them  together  at  end.

leaves  with  text. 

g     Bind  all  index  volumes  separately,  if  covering  several  volumes. 

h  Bind  separate  reports  by  decades;  e.  g.  1870-79,  1880-89,  un" 
less  too  thick,  when  bind  together  the  reports  for  five  years;

5     Sewing 

a    After  they  are  taken  apart,  collate  all  books  carefully.     With- 
out special  instructions,  bind  only  perfect  books. 
b     Mend  tears  with  transparent  adhesive  paper. 
c '   Use  Hayes's  Irish  linen  thread. 
d     Do  not  sew  backs  deeply. 

e     Sew  on  soft  twine  (or  on  tapes  when  so  instructed). 
/     Use  four-ply  for  all  books  under  35  cm;  for  35  cm  and  over,  use 

five-ply. 
g     Sew  every  volume  larger  than  20  cm  on  at  least  three  bands; 

sew  one  larger  than  25  cm  on  four  bands,  or  on  five  when  extra 

thick. 

h     Overcast  first  and  last  signature. 
*      Sew  "all  along  "  when  possible  without  using  too  small  thread. 

Regulate  size  of  thread  so  as  not  to  swell  the  back.     Thread 

must  encircle  each  band. 
;      Mount  thick  or  double  plates  on  guards.     Folding  maps,  etc. 

must  be  backed  or  jointed  with  muslin  when  so  instructed.

a     Cut  books  as  little  as  possible.     Do  not  cut  manuscripts,  maps 

etc.     Do  not  trim  rebound  books  without  special  instructions. 
6     Without  thinning  or  scraping  lace  each  band  into  boards,  first 

cutting  a  groove  for  band  in  each  board  to  prevent  its  cutting 

off  in  "knocking  down." 
c     Use  Davey's  medium  tar  board. 
d     Use  marbled  paper  linings  and  sides  on  half  work.     Use  granite 

paper  on  cloth. 

e     On  half  work  use  vellum  corners  covered  by  paper  sides. 
/     On  all  leather  and  half  duck  work  use  only  tight  backs. 

7     Finishing 

a     Use  only  most  usual  form  of  roman  capitals  and  arabic  numerals. 
b     Never  use  roman  numerals,  German,  old  English  or  other  fancy 

type. 

c     Omit  punctuation  except  when  needed  to  avoid  ambiguity. 
d    Omit  all  tooling  on  backs  except  plain  gilt  cross  lines.

BISCOE   TIME   NUMBERS 

Reprinted  from  Library  Notes,  Oct.  1893,  v.3,  no.n,  p. 424-26. 
A   fuller    explanation   is    given    in   Library   Journal,   Sep. -Oct.   1885, 
10:246-47. 

i     Plan 

This  scheme  provides  for  arranging  books  by  years  from  1000  B.C.- 
2000  A.D.  Each  number  consists  of  a  single  initial  letter 
followed  by  figures  and  these  again,  if  need  be,  by  letters.  Any 
year  of  the  igth  and  2Oth  centuries,  in  which  the  greater  pro- 
portion of  our  books  belong,  is  designated  by  a  letter  and  single 
figure.  For  the  three  preceding  centuries  a  letter  and 
two  figures  are  needed,  only  incunabula  and  ancient  writings 
requiring  a  letter  and  three  figures.  Few  characters  are  wasted 
for  the  period  when  few  books  were  written,  as  A,  B  and  C 
cover  the  years  to  A.D.  1499. 

To  D,E,F,  which  stand  for  centuries,  two  figures  must  be  added, 
the  number  for  a  book  published  in  1652  being  £52;  in  1507, 
007. 

B,  covering  the  first  10  centuries  and  C,  covering  five  centuries, 
must  be  followed  by  three  figures;  thus  a  book  issued  in  1472 
would  be  numbered  €472.

American  books  take  their  numbers  from  the  last  copyright  date; 
English  and  other  foreign  books,  from  date  of  publication; 
e.g.  Dana's  Text  Book  of  Geology,  Phil.  1864,  copyright  '63,

lished  and  copyrighted  in  1874  is  N4.     Weller's  Portable  Atlas 
of  Physical  Geography,  Lond.  1873,  is  N$. 

A  series  or  set  takes  its  Dumber  from  the  first  volume,  even  though 
that  may  be  lacking  in  the  library  set;  e.g.  Popular  Science 
Monthly,  v.  10-20,  is  N2,  the  date  of  v.i  not  of  v.io.  When 
more  than  one  work  in  the  same  class  calls  for'  the  same 
number,  these  numbers  are  differentiated  by  adding  lower  case 
letters;  e.g.  Bradbury  .&  Emery's  Academic  Algebra,  Wells's 
Short  Course  in  Higher  Algebra  and  Sensenig's  Numbers  Uni- 
versalized, all  published  in  1889  call  for  Og.  Supposing  the 
books  to  come  into  the  library  in  the  above  order,  Bradbury 
would  be  Og;  Wells,  Oga;  Sensehig,' Ogb.  These  letters  are 
.  added  arbitrarily  in  the  order  the  books  are  received  without 
regard  to  alphabetic  arrangement.  In  a  closely  classed  library - 
additions  to  final  subdivisions  are  seldom  more  than  one  a 
year.  In  .the  exceptional  cases,  use  of  a  letter  allows  for  26 
additions ; .  the  numbers  therefore  are  neither  long  nor 
complicated. 

If  in  doubt,  an  approximate  date  may  be  used  and  corrected  later 
when  full  information  is  acquired.  Hunting  down  obscure 
dates  consumes  much  time  arid  in  the  average  library  is  not 
worth  what  it  costs.  L  alone  would  mean  a  book  published 
somewhere  in  the  '505  of  the  igth  century,  and  Fg  one  of 
the  last  decade  of  the  i8th  (Fog  being  the  mark  for  1709). 
This  occasional  uncertainty  is. analogous  to  the  case  of  anony- 
mous and  pseudonymous  books  in  an  author  arrangement. 

Dates  B.C.  may  be  treated  in  any  one  of  the  three  ways  suggested 
below.  If  numbers  are  given  from  date  of  writing  or  first 
publication  there  will  be  a  few  A  books;  but'  if  from  date  of 
printing  or  copyright,  none  at  all.  Of  the  three  ways  of  treat- 
ing dates  B.C.  the  best  is: 

1  Subtract   the   decade  B.C.  from  99   and  use   the   resulting 
number,  thus  securing  correct  order  with  a  shorter  number 
than  in.  2.     This   approximate   date  is   sufficiently   close, 
since  the  exact,  year  of  writing  is  difficult  to  determine  and 
the  number  of  books  in  any  subject  in  a  single  decade  small. 

The  alternatives  are : 

2  Subtract  the  date   B-.'C.  from    1000  and   use  'the  resulting 
number,  which  %will.  secure  proper  sequence. 

3  Use  the  actual  B.C.  date,  since  among  so  few  books  no 
great  confusion  would,  result 'from  thus  inverting  the  regular 
order.

LOWER  CASE  LETTERS  IN  BOOK  NUMBERS,  NEW  YORK 
STATE  LIBRARY 

Cutter  numbers  in  New  York  State  Library  are  assigned  from  first 
edition  of  Cutter  tables  and  are  thus  given  in  the  following  examples ;  in 
practice  work  Library  School  students  use  Cutter  tables  revised  by  K.  E. 
Sanborn. 

i     Time  numbers 

Works  in  same  class  that  call  for  same  number  are  differentiated 
by  adding  to  time  number  lower  case  letters,  a,  b,  c  etc.  See 
p.  624. 

2     Special  author  numbers 

a  In  general  when  special  number  is  a  capital  letter  only,  the 
figures  i,  2,  3  etc.  are  added  for  subsequent  books;  e.g.  D,  Di, 
02.  If  number  covers  many  works,  the  figure  i  may  be  added 
for  second  work  as  above,  and  for  subsequent  works  i  and 
initial  of  editor  or  translator;  e.g.  D,  Di,  Dis. 

b  When  special  number  is  a  capital  letter  and  figure,  lower  case 
letter  of  editor's  or  translator's  name  is  used  to  distinguish  two 
editions  of  same  work;  e.g.  R6s,  R6si,  R6s2,  R6t.  No 
attempt  is  made  to  keep  together  editions  by  same  editor. 
Book  number  for  an  edition  of  Macbeth  by  Rolfe  would  be 
T$r,  the  next  by  Reynolds,  Tsn,  another  by  Rolfe,  Tsr2 
etc.  If  no  editor  appears,  initial  of  publisher's  name  or  x,  y,  z 
is  used;  e.g.  R6x.  When  sure  that  there  will  be  many  edi- 
tions of  same  work,  lower  case  letter  may  be  added  to  first 
book. 

3     Library  School  theses  and  bibliographies 

Bound  theses  and  bibliographies  of  New  York  State  Library  School 
are  differentiated  by  lower  case  initials  of  authors;  e.g.  thesis, 
020.7  NOis,  NOiw;  bibliography,  020.7  NO2S,  NO2W. 

4    International  congresses 

Cutter  number  for  name  of  congress,  differentiated  by  lower  case 
initials  of  authors. 

5     American  local  government 

Lower  case  letters  are  used  for  official  publications  under  American 
local  government  numbers,  according  to  the  following  table 
originally  printed  in  Library  Notes,  Oct.  1893,  v.3,  no.n, 
p.436. 


628  NEW    YORK   STATE    LIBRARY 

Under    352.07    further   subdivided    to   state,   Cutter   number   is 
assigned  for   cities  and  towns  to  bring  them  into   alphabetic 
arrangement.     Beyond  this  are  added  as  follows: 
a  Charters;  e.g.  Charter  of  Worcester  Mass.  352.0744  W8ga 
b  State  laws  relating  to  city 
d  Municipal  reform;  investigations 

e  Mayor's  message;  reports  of  town  officers 

Official  documents  when  published  in  sets  are  put  here.

n  Supervisors 

o  Ordinances;  bylaws;  code 
u  History 

v  [N.Y.  City  Record] 
y  General 

6    Fiction  and  poetry 

In  case  of  authors  not  brought  out  in  the  classification,  second  and 
subsequent  books  by  same  author  are  differentiated  by  adding 
to  Cutter  number  lower  case  initial  of  title.  When  there  are 
likely  to  be  many  books  by  same  author,  lower  case  letter  for 
first  book  is  added;  e.g.  Crawford,  Sant'  Ilario  813.49  C85S. 

This  method  may  be  adopted  in  any  class  in  which  the  number  of 
books  makes  it  necessary;  e.g.  244,  814.39,  814.49,  817.39, 
817.49,  818,  818.2,  818.39,  818.49,  824.79,  824.89. 

7     Biography . 

When  there  are  many  lives  of  a  person,  as  in  case  of  Columbus  and 
rulers,  the  number  for  biographee  is  followed  by  lower  case 
initial  of  author;  otherwise  the  first  life  has  number  only, 
e.g.  Memoirs  of  the  Life  of  Henry  Van  Schaack  923.57  ¥36. 

8     Regimental  histories 

For  regimental  histories  in  the  Civil  War  (9 7 3. 7 44-. 7 49)  book  num- 
bers are  assigned  by  scheme  printed  in  the  sixth  edition  of  the 
Decimal  Classification,  a,  b,  c  etc.  being  added  to  distinguish 
different  histories  or  editions;  e.g.  histories  of  the  25th  Massa- 
chusetts infantry,  973.7444' 525,  973.7444  J25a. 

9  Figures 

In  other  cases  figures  are  added  to  distinguish  in  the  same  class 
number  •:..,•,;. 

a  Different  books  by  same  author 
b  Different  editions 
c  Books  by  different  authors

1  Classify  like  books  and  arrange  in  order  of  class  numbers. 

2  Consult  clippings  decisions  at  beginning  of  class  number  in 
L  (vertical)  file  to  see  if  special  arrangement  is  required.     In 
making  first  sheet  under  new  number  or  in  case  of  doubt  con- 
sult person  in  charge. 

Usually  under  class  arrange: 
a  Chronologically 
b  Alphabetically  by  name  of  paper 

3  Write  class  number  in  black  ink  in  upper  right  corner  of  recto 
of  a  25x20  cm  punched  manila  sheet,  ^  cm  from  each  edge. 
If  a  subhead  is  needed  letter  it  below  the  class  number;    e.g.

4  Letter  on  sheet  at  head  of  article,  name  and  date  of  paper 
from  which  clipping  is  taken. 

a  Letter  neatly  and  not  too  large. 

b  Follow  Library  School  Rules  tor  capitalization. 

c   Use  L.B.  dates  without  punctuation;   e.g.  12  Je  01  not  12  Je. 

'01.    See  Library  School  Rules,  1899,  p.  39. 
d  Omit  punctuation  at  end  of  lines  except  after  abbreviations. 

5  Before  trimming  a  clipping  see  whether  there  is  any  matter  on 
back  which  should  be  preserved.     If  so  leave  margin  for  a 
hinge.    See  Rule  6b. 

6  a  Usually  paste  only  edges  of    clippings.      (Use  Day's  white 

paste.)  Mount  on  both  sides  of  sheet.  If  clipping  runs  over 
a  sheet  tie  sheets  together  and  number.  Mount  illustrations 
valuable  enough  to  keep,  at  end  of  article  if  they  interfere 
with  columns. 

b  If  there  is  material  to  be  preserved  on  both  sides  of  clipping 
tip  in  and  fold. 

7  Leave  2^  cm  margin  on   punched  edge  and,  if  possible,  £  cm 
on  outer  edge.  '  Leave  2  cm  margin  at  top  and  £  cm  at  bottom 
of  each  page,  also  2  cm  between  clippings. 

8  Arrange  sheets  in  L  file  by  class  numbers  and  subheads. 

9  a  When  there  are  enough  clippings  on  one  topic  put  into  a 

binder,  dividing  at  end  of  a  year.

Ss  of  extension  teaching,  lecture  courses  ana  otner  agencies 
promoting  and  extending  more  widely  opportunities  and  facilit 
education  to  those  unable  to  attend  the  usual  ^a<^  institttti^s. 
The  most  potent  factors  in  this  work  are:  (i)  putting  the  best 
reading  and  pictures  within  reach  of  all  citizens  by  public  travel 
ing  house  and  home  libraries  and  annotated  booklists;  (a)  stimu- 
lating formation  of  study  clubs,  helping  on  programs,  and  lending 
books  and  pictures.     There  are  now  about  600  of  these  clubs  regis- 
tered as  doing  10  or  more  weeks  consecutive,  systematic  _ work  c 
some  approved  specific  subject;  (3)  the  aid  given  in  organizing  new 
and  increasing  efficiency  of  established  local  libraries  by  the  public 
libraries  section  through  which  the  State    yearly   expends 
$60  ooo  for  the  benefit  of  free  libraries.     This  section  is  devoted  to 
promoting  general  library  interests  of  the  State  and  in  all  prac- 
ticable ways  assisting   communities  willing  to   do  their  part  in 
providing  the  best  reading  for  their  citizens.
